Questions & Answers
Although they appear small, Dachshunds are surprisingly brave and loyal dogs. They are hunters by nature and, with their long bodies and short legs, can fit into tight spaces when searching for prey. This breed has a great sense of smell, making them efficient tracker dogs. Because of their curious and brave nature, they can sometimes tend to be stubborn and require consistent discipline and training. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and they have three coat types, smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired.
While no dog breed is truly hypoallergenic, Dachshunds are considered to be among the least allergenic of breeds. This is because they produce lower amounts of dander, a common allergen within many other breeds. Furthermore, their shedding is less profuse than that of other breeds, which results in lower amounts of pet hair on furniture, bedding, and carpets. That said, due to their high energy, Dachshunds still require regular grooming to control the amount of shedding.
Dachshunds should not be fed foods that are unhealthy, including processed treats, human snacks and leftovers. Avoid feeding your Dachshund too many fatty and salty foods, chocolate, onions, grapes or raisins, as these can be toxic to dogs. Avoid feeding them bones or anything that could splinter and cause a choking hazard. It's best to consult your veterinarian for a feeding plan specific to your individual pet's needs. Many people feed their Dachshunds a combination of commercial pet food and homemade meals.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with understanding their particular needs. First off, they are a breed of dog that loves companionship and to snuggle with their human family so be sure to provide lots of affection. Second, they need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Be sure to provide plenty of physical activity and enrichment activities that can help your pup stay mentally sharp. Also, due to their breed traits, Dachshunds can often be sensitive. Be sure to stay consistent with training and never resort to punishment as discipline.
Dachshunds were originally bred for hunting and come in two sizes, standard and miniature. The typical adult size of a standard Dachshund ranges between 16 and 32 pounds, depending on the sex and age of the dog. The weight range for miniature Dachshunds is generally between 5 and 10 pounds. In addition to two sizes, Dachshunds are also bred in three coat varieties: smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired.
Yes, you can absolutely take your Dachshund running, provided it is old enough and its health allows it. While a miniature or standard dachshund can be bred for work and exercise, their small legs can tire easily, so their running sessions should not last too long. Make sure your dog is completely obedient and safe before you take him running, and it's best to run on softer surfaces such as grass or dirt trails, as the joints of your pet can be easily overloaded on harder surfaces.
Dachshunds can make great pets for first-time owners. They typically get along with other pets and children, though this will depend on various factors such as their upbringing and socialization. Dachshunds are relatively easy to train and have minimal grooming needs. For anyone who is looking for a small to medium-sized breed, Dachshunds can make a good choice. Due to their size, they're also well-suited for small living environments.
Training your Dachshund requires consistency and patience. Start early with basic obedience commands such as "lie down," "sit," and "stay" as puppies often grasp the concept quickly and are eager to learn. Make training sessions short and always provide reinforcement with treats and lots of praise. When teaching commands, keep a clear distinction between commands, praise and corrections so your pup doesn't become confused. Incorporate activities that excite the Dachshund like fetch or agility training so learning is fun and enjoyable.
